CRN and ASN Foundation Program for Scholars
Funding is needed to sustain the CRN and ASNF Program for Scholars (CAPS), presented in collaboration with the American Society for Nutrition Foundation.
CAPS provides ASN graduate student members with educational scholarships to attend CRN’s “SciComms Connect” annual event which is held in conjunction with our annual conference. Among CRN’s education initiatives, CAPS is the only program that reaches aspiring nutrition professionals.
Cost: Any amount is appreciated. The cost of supporting one graduate student awardee is $2,000. Pledge your support via this form or contact CRN with questions.

Updates to chapters from CRN’s Vitamin and Mineral Safety Handbook, last published in 2014, are in progress. This initiative is being funded through a grant from the CRN Foundation. The majority of the funding for this project will come from tax-deductible donations from members, who can support individual chapters of interest or contribute to a general fund.
Cost: Donations in any amount are appreciated. To provide feedback on draft chapters, we ask for a minimum donation of $10,000 per chapter.

2027 ACOG Clinical and Scientific Meeting
The 2027 American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Clinical and Scientific Meeting (ACSM) will be held May 21-23 in Los Angeles, CA. This event provides learning and networking opportunities “for those committed to providing exceptional obstetric and gynecologic care.” Over 6,000 individuals attended the 2026 ACSM. In 2027, the CRN Foundation plans to expand its scope beyond prenatal nutrition to other areas of women’s health. Our planned initiatives include:
- A sponsored educational session (“industry workshop”) featuring speakers and topics agreed upon by participating members.
- An educational booth providing resources on the role of dietary supplements in supporting women’s health, including prenatal nutrition. Finished product brands will each have a table to showcase their products at the booth. Scientists from CRN and member companies will staff the booth.
- Supporting educational materials for attendees and microsite.
Space for eight: The opportunity to participate in the CRN Foundation’s ACOG initiative is limited to eight CRN member companies. Currently, only two spots for finished product brands remain for 2027.
Cost: The cost associated with participating is $25,000 per company in 2027.
